Tin.

Tin has been the all absorbing topic
of the week. Tin talk, variegated and
plain; high-keyed and whispered; ex-
pressive of unlimited confidence on the
part of the masses, and doubt upon the
part of the few is everywhere heard
Tin stone, metallic tin, tin in the bar,
and tin in chancery, is discussed from
court house square to the hay scales on
lower Custer avenue. Tin-mounted
terms, which would daze tenderfoot
indigestible to all but the semi-scientific
prospector, fall indiscriminately upon
the ear of the awe stricken auditors,
who seem in momentary expectation Of
the welcome sound Of the tin horn pro-
claiming the long looked for inuagura-
ton of the Custer tin jubilee, delect-
able era, when American tin shall
become fixed fact in the minds of the
masses from the uttermost parts of earth
to the Black Hills Mining Exchange
all of which, and more, is being based
upon the result Of the new Tin Noun
tain enterprise, which the CHRONICLE
hopes may be as brilliant as it now
seems promising.

The New Find in the Iron Hill.

This is the most remarkable opening
ever made in the Black Hills and prob
ably has few equals in the history ol
mining. IF anyone knows of another
shaft twenty-five feet deep, Of ordinary
size, that produces $3.50 foot from the
grass roots down, we would like to
publish it. The sinking of this shaft is
now turning out three tons of ore worth
$3.50 per ton, or $3.50 daily.
Without making some figures few
would appreciate the additional profit
accruing from three tons of this grade
Of ore. Accepting the current estimates
Of value and production for say two
months previous to this new discovery,
let us make lite calculation. A pro-
duction and treatment Of 1000 tons q
month of an average value Of $40 per
ton, with monthly expense of less
than $4,000, leaves profit of about
$4,000 month. If these figures are
not exact they are approximately cor
rect. Now, if 80 tons month Of $40 a
ton are retained at the main shaft,
having value of $500, and 80 tons of
$3.50 ore rroni the Home Run are sub
|stituted for it, having al value of S22 500,
then the difference, SO, ,nJts-f>1r moA,'
is the additional profit on account Of the
new ore, nearly doubling the profit,
because the expense remains practically
the same.
When it is remembered that this
shaft is now about 80 feet deep, and the
vein Of solid ore three feet in width, il
requires but brief calculation to show
that before any drifting On the vein or
stopping is done, the production will be
kept at $4,000 per day. A line started
each way on this vein would more than
treble the production or say add 800
tons Of the high grade ore per month,
which would give monthly production
Of over 100000 in value or a profit OF
$4,000 per month. 1t is not at all an
unreasonable supposition that this new
find can and will maintain a production
Of 800 tons month of high grade ore,
in the near future, SO largely increasing
the profit that the expectation Of 10
cents shore month dividend, will
fall far short of the probability. Why
any one not absolutely suffering for a
little hard cash should sell any stock at
current rates in this market is truly

Kindly Comment.

The Custer CHRoNICE has entered
upon its eighth volume. It's work dur
ing the past seven years has been ever
in the direction of good for the people
of its town and the entire Black Hills
country. 1t has ever been a creditable
paper-never better than under its
present management. The CHRONICLE
and the gentlemen connected with it
deserve substantial recognition at the
hands of the Black Hills people. They
have earned it faithfully and well.-

The importance Of the tin enterprise
which is about to be inaugurated by the
Tin Mountain company on the Tin
Mountain property in Warrens lulch
district can scarcely be realized. The
measure OF benefit to this city, and the
Black Hills at large, resulting from the
success of this enterprise, which by
reason of the ore and machinery having
been submitted to the most rigid tests
with highly satisfactory results, may be
deemed fully assured. is simply incal-
culable, and can only be vaguely out
lined by the most vivid Imagination.
The plant to he erected upon this prop
crty, Is unlike any other which has ever
been employed in the reduction of tin
sres. Many features Of the process en-
ployed IN the reduction Of the ore are
entirely new; never hitherto having
been employed in tin reduction.
These new features, which produce
such satisfactory results. were invented
hy Mr.. A. l.. Sivyer, the superintendent
In charge, gentleman of extensive
mining experience in Australia and the
different mining sections of this country
We regret the fact Of our being unable
ON account Of manifest disposition
upon the part of the company to with
hold the desired information, to give
full and elaborate description Of the
new process to be used in the reduction
Of the Tin Mountain ore.
The site selected for the mill near the
stream at the base of the mountain, is
peculiarly favorable for the convenient
reception Of the ore, which will be con
Quoted from the mine to the crusher by
means of chutes, from which it drops
into the pulverizer, passing on in its
course through the various processes Of
manipulation without handling. The
object Of reducing the ore automatically
would seem to have been studied very
closely by Mr.. Sivyer, and inasmuch as
this feature must result in largely cur
failing the expense Of reduction, it must
be regarded RS potent factor in the
success of the enterprise. The process
employed does not involve the use
of much water, none whatever being
used until the last stage of reduction is
reached.
The mill building will be SO feet long,
and SO feet wide, requiring in it's con-
strnction $4,000 feet Of lumber. and
5000 shingles. ANA IL is expected that
it will be completed and in operation by
the 25th day of November 1t is the
intention to reduce but ten tons Of ore
per day on the start, and gradually
work up to 80 tons per day, which is
the full capacity OF the plant.
The company boarding house is 26x3S
feet, and is now nearly completed, and
it will be but few days when Warrens
Gulch will be the scene Of tin operations
which we feel assured will result in
giving to the Black Hills tin prestige
before which Cornwall with all its
vaunted, but now well nigh exhausted
deposits, would pale and pass into
palpable insignificance and Tom White,
with his amazing effrontery, stand at

Mr.. White, the Black Hills dis,urber
of the peace, appears to be a man Of
parts. Just now he seems to be in the
mood to wrestle any ten men in the
Hills any holds, for any amount of tin.
When Mr. White goes over into the
Custer country the Globe will depend
upon him to send a special account 4
the affair by wire, and to file it early

Custer is prepared to furnish the tin
but it is not at all probable that White
will come to Custer. His wrestling, if
continued, will be conducted as hereto
fore, with random references at Ions
range.

District Court Clerk Padgett received
by Sundays mail from Deadwood Judge
Thomas decision in the district attor-
ney's salary case. The decision is in
the form of peremptory mandamus,
ordering the county commissioners to
pay Attorney Walker salary of 81 800

board now is to pay it or appeal to the

The Drugs Most Used.

The subscribers of the Chemist and
Druggist, London, having been asked to
send to the editor 10, 900 prescriptions, a
digest of the answers received shows that
spirits Of chloroform, sal volatile, gly-
cerine and syrup of orange peel take high
places as drugs most frequently pre-
scribed, to these being also added bro
mide of potassium, which ranks second
only to chlOrofOrm. Wine of ipecacu-
anna, sulphate of quinine, bicarbonate of
soda, carbonate of ammonia, liquor am
monia, acetatis, POTASH bicarbonatis and
spirits etheris nitrosi are the other mem
bers of the group of twelve drugs most
frequently ordered. Several of these
minister to the disorders of the respira-
tory tract, and the time of year may have
some influence on their use. This kind
of information cannot, however, be re-
garded as representative. Thus, if the
statistics of some hospitals and dispen-
saries be taken, bicarbOnate of soda, rhu
barb and gentian would, it is thought,
exceed the other drugs in respect of fire.

chloroform and syrup of orange peel are
mainly used as adjuncts.

FALL OF AN ELEVATOR.
Two Persons Killed and Many
Others INJURED.

Others Injured
An overloaded elevator at the collar and
cuff factory of G. Sidenberg s. Co., - and
~ Mercer street, New York, fell four
stories TO the basement at about $50
o'clock Thursday morning, killing one wo-
man instantly and MORALLY wounding
one man. and more or less seriously in
turing eleven girls. The building Is a six
story iron front. About 800 women and
girls are employed by the firm, who go
to work at 5 O'Clock in the morning.
There was a rule that those who arrived be-
fore 7:45 could ride up on the elevator, but
after that they must climb the stairs. This
rule was an inducement to get them there
early.
The elevator was in charge of John o Neil,
married man, thirty five years old. The
employees entered the elevator from the base
ment floor. At about Z 80, when it started,
there were fifteen women and girls in
it. The elevator rose with its usual
motion as far as the third story. Here the en-
ployes always left it to go to the room where
they left their wraps and hats. At this landing
O'Neil pulled the chain to stop the elevator
but instead of stopping it, something was heard
to crack, and then, to the terror of all, it
plunged down through the shaft like
a pile driver. 1t was all over in an
instant, but during that instant the
girls surged to one side of the ele-
vator car, throwing O'Neil around so that
his back projected out of the open front of the
car, and he struck against the landing of the
street floor breaking his back. He fell out on
the basement floor, grooming, beside the engi-
neer, Patrick Gibbons, who was the only man
there. At the same instant Mrs. James
Lynch, aged 30 years, of 297 Mulberry street.
pitched headlong from the car, striking the
side of her head against corner of pillar,
fracturing her skull and killing her instantly.
OF therest not one escaped unhurt.

in making the trip.
All the Smoky mines are reported
looking better than ever; but they
had no time to visit any besides their
own. The King of the West employs
Ia men and shows some thousands of
tons of ore. The east drift, on the
lowest level, shows a width of two
feet of second class ore, and a width
OF . to ii inches of first class. The
water threatens to food the mine, and
asteam pump and hosting engine have
become indispensable. 1t will take
four to six weeks to get these, and
may require two months longer TO get
concentrating works built. In the
meantime preparations will be made
to begin shipping first class ore by
the end of June. When, however,
the concentrating works are built and
in operation, the mine will be a steady
shipper, and make a good record.
